My Bossy CEO Husband

Chapter 223: Bone Marrow Transplant 

Boom!

Wendy felt like those words were a bomb that exploded in her mind.Her body stiffened, and her palms sweated uncontrollably.

"Mommy..."

"Yes, Ray, I'm here."

Upon hearing Raymond's voice, Wendy seemed to have been awakened from a dream.She immediately strode towards him.

Raymond reached out his hand to her.

Wendy's nose twitched as she tried her best to hold back the tears that were about to fall from her eves.

While her palms were wet, Raymond's were very dry.

With a hypodermic needle inserted on the back of his hand, he took her hand.

The needle had an anesthetic that would be pushed into his body during the operation later.

Raymond smiled brightly at Wendy and said, "Mommy, don't worry.I'll be fine."

"Okay, I won't." As she spoke, Wendy felt a lump in her throat.

But still, she held back her tears.

"I will be waiting for you outside."

"Okay."

"Mommy, I need you too,"

Precious suddenly said, reaching out her hand to Wendy.) Wendy stood between the two beds and held their hands respectively.She raised them to her lips and kissed them.

"I will be waiting for you."

"Okay,"

Raymond and Precious answered in unison.

Ryan stood stiffly like a statue.His face was pale, and the dark circles around his eyes were worse than Wendy's.He looked like a patient more than the two children.

Raymond's eyes fell on Ryan.He pursed his lips but said nothing.

Then the nurse came over and asked him, "Are you ready?"

Raymond withdrew his gaze from Ryan and answered, "Yes."

"Then we are going to the operating room now."

"Okay."

The nurse pushed their beds to the operating room.Then the door of the operating room slammed shut, blocking everyone's sight.

After a while, one doctor came over with the operation consent form.

"Who are the family members of the patients?"he asked.

"Me!"

"Me!"

Ryan and Wendy answered simultaneously.

"You must be the parents of the two children.Come over and sign this, please."

Various unexpected conditions were written on the operation consent form.As Wendy read them, her legs became weak.She moved her arm only to realize that she couldn't even lift it.

"Who will sign this?"the doctor asked.

"I will," Ryan answered and signed his name on the operation consent form.

"Doctor, is there any risk in this operation?" Wendy suddenly asked.

"There is always a risk in every operation," the doctor answered honestly.

This statement made Wendy's legs even weaker.Her face turned deathly pale, and she staggered back two steps.

Fortunately, Ryan was agile enough to support her.

"Don't worry.Nothing bad will happen," Ryan said in a calm and convincing voice.

Wendy held his hand tightly and said, "The doctors you hired are all experts.The operation will definitely be successful, right?"

It took a while before he answered, "Yes."

As if Wendy had gotten strength from his words, she murmured, "Yes.The doctors inside the operating room right now are all experts in this field.Each of them has outstanding records.Now that they are

working together to perform Ray's operation, they will definitely succeed.They will make it.Ray will make it."

She was comforting herself, but it was more like she was convincing herself.The light above the operating room door lit up.

It meant that the operation had already begun.

Wendy found a seat, sat down, and buried her head deep in her knees.

"Wendy..." Reese called out Wendy's name softly, looking at her with concern.

She was about to stretch out her hand, but Brandon stopped her.

"What are you doing?" Reese asked, glaring at him.

"What she needs right now is not comfort but companionship," he explained.

He was right.

At this moment, all the comfort was just an added burden to Wendy.

Reese bit her lower lip and sat beside Wendy quietly.

There was dead silence outside the operating room.

The atmosphere was very depressing.

Although they all kept comforting themselves inwardly, they knew that the operation was risky.

Precious was fine.As the bone marrow donor, she was not in danger.

But Raymond's situation was totally different.

Leo knew it very well.

As a doctor, he clearly knew how high the risks of a bone marrow transplant were.

Leo and Luke exchanged glances and sat next to Ryan, one on the left and one on the right.

Ryan's body tensed up.He looked so cold and fierce.

It was as if he was covered with a layer of ice.

Leo patted him on the shoulder and said, "Just relax."

Relax? How could he? Ryan glanced at Wendy, who was curling up like a ball on the chair.He knew too well that if this operation failed, he wouldn't only lose Raymond.He would also lose Wendy.

Raymond was Wendy's lifeblood.

So if this operation failed, he couldn't imagine what she would become.

"Leo..."

When Ryan opened his mouth, he found that his voice became hoarse.He raised his head, looked straight into Leo's eyes, and spoke in a low voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Tell me honestly.What's the success rate of this operation?"

"It depends," Leo answered.

"Be honest with me!" Leo sighed.

"I'm not kidding you.My major is obstetrics and gynecology.I've only heard about bone marrow transplants.The success rate of this kind of operation varies from person to person.Ray has always

been taking medicine and cooperative with the treatment.So his success rate should be higher.Besides, the doctors you hired are all top-notch."

Leo tried his best to explain, but for Ryan, his words were meaningless.

Ryan's Adam's apple bobbed convulsively.

Leo was worried that Ryan would be under so much pressure if no one talked to him, so he said in a low voice, "Don't worry.For me, the success rate is still very high."

But unfortunately, Ryan couldn't hear what Leo was talking about anymore.He closed his eyes.He recalled the time when he first met Raymond until those times that they got along with each other little by little.

He thought of that moment when Raymond came to him with the magic cube, played it joyfully, and asked him like an adult if he was really sincere to Wendy.

As these memories flashed in his mind, his breathing started to become painful. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

The operation was intensely underway.

One hour passed.

Then two hours.

After three hours, the light above the operating room door was still on.

Everyone became more anxious.

Josie couldn't take it anymore, so she said anxiously, "Why haven't they come cut yet? It's been more than three hours already."

Anson also looked serious.

But he said, "Don't worry.Just wait."

Luke kept pacing back and forth in front of the operating room door.

"Luke, will you please stop? You're making me feel dizzy," Roger complained with a frown.

Luke was rendered speechless.He couldn't help scolding himself.He didn't want to pace back and forth.

But as soon as he sat down, he couldn't help worrying about Raymond.

It seemed that his anxiety could only be relieved by walking back and forth.

"Leo, how long will this operation take?" Ryan asked.

"It should be done soon." Leo's answer made everyone take a deep breath.

They somehow calmed down and continued to wait.

Ryan glanced at Wendy worriedly.

Since Raymond and Precious entered the operating room, she had been holding her knees and burying her head in them.

It had been more than three hours.If she wasn't moving from time to time, he would think she had already fainted.

Reese was also worried about Wendy.She looked too bad.

Her face was deathly pale, and she was sweating profusely.

When Reese held Wendy's hand, Wendy raised her head in horror.She was trembling all over.

"Don't be scared, okay?" Reese hugged her tightly.

"I just want to ask if you want to drink water."

Still nervous, Wendy shook her head stiffly.

"I'm not thirsty."

As soon as she finished her words, she turned around.

Then she saw that the light above the operating room door suddenly went out.She stood up at once.
